CLASSIC TUNA MELT: Easy, Delicious, & Satisfying/Simple Sandwich Perfect When Pressed for Time
Who doesn't love a good Tuna Melt Sandwich? If you're pressed for time, it's the easiest, most satisfying thing you can make; which is what makes it a Classic. You really don't need a recipe for this, but if you're interested in knowing what I put in mine, I'll go ahead and list the ingredients below.
Classic Tuna Melt
1 12oz. can of tuna in water (drained)
bread (I like sliced sourdough)
chopped onion
diced hamburger pickles
mayonnaise
fresh lemon juice
fresh parsley
salt & pepper
When it comes time to grill your sandwich, I spread either softened butter or mayonnaise on the outer sides of the bread and that gives it that perfectly toasted/golden quality. I also like putting a lid over the sandwich when it's being grilled. That helps the cheese melt and ensures the tuna mixture is warmed all the way through.
Thanks so much for checking out my video. I'd love to hear what you put in your Tuna Melt (because I know we all have our own way of doing things), so leave me a comment. Thank you to those of you who also give it a Thumbs Up & Subscribe. I post one new video every week at Marcy Inspired.

Back in the 90's I worked Loss Prevention for Nordstrom and would order Tuna Melts delivered to the camera room from the Nordstrom Cafe and eat that goodness while camera hunting for shoplifters. I haven't had a tuna melt since then. Brings back memories.
ok.. first off.. your dog is adorable.. 2nd.. that i love tuna melts :p

My beloved cat. George loved tuna. He passed away about 3 years ago. Sometimes I dream about George. Although he loved to sleep on the kitchen counter. I want a another cat. I believe in Jesus. Please pray for my friends and I to get another cat. Thanks. Shiloh.

After I drain the water. I splash in some Malt Vinegar. Let it marinate in it for awhile. Then, I mix up the tuna.
Great execution of a classic. Every adult and child dreams of having this served for lunch. I just wish it didn’t require so many different ingredients and prep. I have been making just grilled cheeses and pickles on the side but I miss the tuna.
Looks delicious. Making this tonight. Thanks!
Looks delicious, sourdough is the best for sandwiches like this👍, for family they don't like onion, celery, pickles or any like that in tuna, we use kewpie mayo, little milk, capers and ground pepper for tuna, butter on bread, processed cheese and havarti cheese.. 🤤, I'm gonna add parsley next time 🤔, might be fast dinner tonight with fries lol.

The pickle was new tasty addition. Thanks.

You wouldn’t happen to have a old timers hot tamale pork recipe like the old Mexican grandmothers made and passed on to their daughters. ? I’ve been looking for one for years since I had the best from a elderly lady and man that sat beside the road going into Houston that I stopped at every day they were there. She had them made in a crockpot or pressure cooker with a redish looking liquid. But they were the best I ever had and they were always wrapped in corn husk and the husk taste would really make the spicy 🌶️ pork tamales. Man they were the best in the land.
Making one right now that made my mouth water. THANKS👍👍👍👍👍

This is the consistency of tuna salad I make when just making tuna sandwiches, but for a tuna melt, I do think you should go a little drier, because you are going to have melty cheese all over it. Too much moisture will kill your tuna melt experience. As the Ortega people used to say: It tastes better in your mouth, than it does on your shirt! Thanks for uploading the video and method!

I made a bootleg version of this and it was so good I decided to look up how it would normally be made. Now I’m here lol. I had a “tuna creations” pouch and it was smoked flavored. I threw that in a pan with a slice of Munster cheese untill the bottom of the tuna was crispy and the cheese melted. I also toasted the potato bun in the pan at the same time. Then I threw a couple hamburger pickles and some Mayo on the bun along with the tuna and cheese and it was better than I had ever hoped it could be.
